Lily and I have been messing around with wool felt and food coloring. We only used the box of four colors from the grocery store to get all these colors. Can you believe that?! I'm positively giddy about it. I've written down the "recipes" for our favorite colors and will post them soon as well as the template for my Easter Countdown ornaments.
I really want to make this a special Easter. Each egg ornament will have a symbol of Easter in the little pocket and we'll do a daily devotional starting the Sunday before. Hopefully the kids will get into it enough to remind me this year. Last year I tried including candy in the daily devotional to get them to remind me. They did remind me, but the candy was too much of a distraction. So this year I'm trying prettier eggs (and my iphone alerts).
I do love holiday traditions. We hide easter baskets instead of eggs. Some years the Easter Bunny has left a trail of jelly beans leading to the basket--a tradition I picked up from my SIL Heather Bailey. My mom used to get us a new swim suit every Easter. I loved that. I'm always on the lookout for great holiday traditions. I'd love to hear yours.
Easter is like my all time Favorite Holiday!! Love the colors, the weather, bunnies and chicks, and everything that goes with Easter!! We have an Easter Bunny costume...so that is always fun for photos!! And my dad is so BAD at hiding eggs...you practically need a shovel and a detector to find the darn things!!! :) Love your centerpiece!!!

Sounds like fun, Cricket, but I hope they were plastic eggs. I'd hate to be missing a hardboiled egg :-)
